"Impeach, Remove, Jail " - Viggo Mortensen

[lukasahero]

In the often and rightly quoted words of Bill Clinton, "There's nothing wrong with America that can't be fixed by what's right with America." We see now how individuals and groups around the country continue to act in any way they can to help their fellow citizens in Louisiana, Mississippi and other devastated places near the Gulf of Mexico. They refuse to stand idly by and wait for President Bush and his morally-bankrupt, pirate administration to respond in an appropriately urgent and compassionate manner to the escalating agony and desperation of our fellow citizens. As we know, this agony and desperation was caused in large part by a near complete absence of adequate federal government funding, preparedness, and leadership. We the people will continue to help Americans and non-Americans alike, with or without the participation or approval of George W. Bush and his Neo-Conservative cohorts. While it is true that what is most important right now is to rescue, feed, house, and in any way possible care for those immediately affected by the disaster, it is equally true that in the long run those directly responsible for aggravating the tragic situation must be held accountable. The mounting evidence of the Bush administration's criminal mismanagement of the nation, as well as its consistently arrogant disregard for our planet's people and natural environments must be confronted immediately. Those who voted for Bush last year, or who have continually supported his outlaw administration in its destructively dishonest conduct -- including not only extremist conservatives but also politically-calculating democrats -- need not hang their heads or avert their eyes now. What they can and ought to do is join the increasing numbers of Americans who are demanding that impeachment proceedings be initiated as soon as possible. Members of the Bush Administration responsible for the blatant lies and self-serving manipulations that have fanned the flames of disaster from Iraq to New Orleans must be prosecuted as our laws require. We must insist on this. Furthermore, we must not allow these disgracefully unpatriotic public servants to be pardoned by any future president as Gerald Ford did for Richard Nixon. Please call or write your government representatives and help get the scoundrels out of government and in prison where they belong. Do not allow the subject to be changed, do not be distracted. The time to act is now. Take back your country.
- Viggo Mortensen.

24. Catchiness is VERY IMPORTANT - well said.

Here's my fave:

Dick Cheney Before He Dicks You.

[redwitch]

2. OK, Now I totally love him!

:loveya:

[lukasahero]

7. Pulls no punches there, ay? eom

[PassingFair]

3. Holy Crap!

I'm in LOVE!

I'm e-mailing this to my apolitical sister-in-law who has lusted after Viggo for years. . .

[lukasahero]

4. She's apolitical and lusts for Viggo?

Must be a physical thing then because he's way political. (Uh, ok, can't really blame her there. :) But tell her to check out his publishing web site (percevalpress.com) if she wants to appreciate the heart and mind of the man who's body she's been craving.)

[MsTryska]

18. I know i'll be checking it out.....

and i may be political, but i had no idea Viggo had a brain. I've lusted after him strictly on a physical plane all this time.

[BlueManDude]

5. this dude is awesome.

[slor]

8. That is what I am talking about!

We are beyond the lame-duck shit! Time to make arrests! We can call it roasted-duck, if you so choose, but it is time to go!

[leveymg]

12. Duck hunting?

Caution: Cheney and Rummy are armed and dangerous.

[HeeBGBz]

10. Viggo. You da man!

The return of the king. Rock on, buddy. I love it when people speak out with no fear.

[lukasahero]

16. "I love it when people speak out with no fear."

I wish only there were more who would.

[Cats Against Frist]

11. Cats Against Frist, do you take Viggo to be your--

why, yes, I do.

And I try not to, because I hate star worship, as well as his poetry, but hey, really -- does it matter?

[Shadowen]

13. Mortensen is a true Renaissance man.

Photographer, poet, musician, singer, actor...and now an eloquent political writer.

[kahleefornia]

14. *swoon*

Wow, I thought it was enough to just watch him riding a horse through the countryside in a movie. Well, two movies really - I actually liked Hidalgo. But I confess I don't really care what it was about (and I don't think I noticed anyway).

Ah, Viggo...some day we will be together, riding through the countryside together, then returning home to write political blogs together....sigh.

[tanyev]

15. Well you can't have a Viggo thread without a picture.

[HeeBGBz]

25. *woof* eom

[jarnocan]

29. Like this one too.

from http://viggofanbase.com I wrote them for permission to post it- with reference I placed it on my blog couldn't resist. http://jarnocan.blogspot.com
I usually say Investigate, Prosecute, Impeach, Punish IPIP but I guess it should be Investigate, Impeach Prosecute Punish -but it's all good.

[frictionlessO]

17. I bow to my leige,

Sorry but Viggo is a hero in any genre at any time.

He is also a truely shit hot actor worthy of praise even if he didin't have such gracious politics.

[PassingFair]

19. I LOVE this line:

"...including not only extremist conservatives but also politically-calculating democrats --"

The cynical votes of DLC dems make me wanna :puke:

They figured that voting for IWR was a win-win for them. If chimpy pulled it off, they'd be vindicated. If chimpy fell flat on his face (99.9% probability), they could claim he lied to them. Chuck them out.

:puke:

[Independent_Liberal]

21. Way to go Viggo!

[Lochloosa]

22. Kick this back to the top...because everyong should read this

[FredStembottom]

23. "pirate administration" ! The 2 words we all should use.

This is the perfect description. Has this been around before?

If not, I suggest that all DU'ers make this their preferred reference for the Bushco regime.

A perfectly fitting description (in 2 words!) that anyone over the age of 4 will immediately grok.

:toast:

[lukasahero]

27. Pirate administration - says it all, doesn't it? eom

[Gregorian]

26. Finally! And those who do support Bush will be villified.

Anyone who supports these monsters will go down in flames if they continue to do so. The people are waking. There will be hell to pay, just for siding with this criminal gang.

Thank you Mortensen. Go Conyers. Go Fitzgerald.

[deadparrot]

28. I love Viggo.

In many ways. ;)
